Xplane 11 Felis 747-200 Classic : Review by Xplane Dedicated

#xplane11 #Laminar #Xplane11
Over 3 years in the making, I present to you to you none other than one of the most iconic aircraft ever built: the Boeing 747-200 Classic by felis

First flown in February 1969, the Boeing 747 is one of the most successful aircraft ever built by Boeing. With nearly 400 747-200s built, there’s no shortage of iconic routes and airlines that could be flown!

This rendition of the Boeing 747-200 is created to best reflect the 747-200s systems, flight dynamics, and performance. Just like the Felis Tu-154, this X-Plane model was designed with the help of original documents, blueprints, videos, and the great help of many real world pilots and flight engineers on the 747-200, along with enthusiasts.

With this package you get a basic passenger model with PW JT9D-7J engines. More updates will come.
